BREAKING: China blames the United States for the origin of COVID-19

China blames US for origin of COVID-19 and turning ‘deaf ear to the numerous questions over its conduct’

A paper published by the Chinese Communist Party also blames the US for not doing enough to combat the virus.

The document asserts that “substantial evidence” suggests COVID-19 “might have emerged in the United States earlier than its officially-claimed timeline, and earlier than the outbreak in China,” calling for a detailed investigation into the virus’ origins on American soil.

“The US has made China the primary scapegoat for its own mismanaged COVID-19 response,” the paper stated, accusing Washington of spreading misinformation and wasting “precious time China had secured for the global fight against the pandemic.”

Beijing’s claims come in response to a new White House website launched on April 18, which alleges that COVID-19 originated from a lab leak in China — a theory the Chinese government has repeatedly rejected.
